Issac called me requesting my assistance on recovering his crashed drone. He had just got a new DJI Air 3 drone and was enjoying some first flights over Lake Sacajawea. He had collected some nice video of the water fountain in the lake. After a short bit of time flying he shifted his focused to a small island when his flight quickly fell apart. His drone got to close to some tree branches causing the Air 3 drone to bob up and down in the sky as it tried to fly away it just got smacked by some thicker branches causing a total lost of control as it cartwheeled into the ice cold lake below. 

A very disappointed Issac and his friend attempted to try to search for the drone wading out into the ice cold lake with nothing more than a pair of sweat pants on. Issac admitted he didn’t last long in the freezing cold water and had to quickly get out. They even brought out a kayak breaking the thin layer of ice and tried looking for anything resembling the drone but they quickly discovered the visibility of the lake waters to be extremely poor. A hook and rope was purchased with efforts throwing the rig in the lake and dragging the line in hoping to snag the bird sadly ended up with no success.

As a very disappointing last chance effort Issac ran a Google search looking to “hire a diver” and landed on The Ring Finders directory. He quickly found the Seattle Ring Hunter and placed a call for help. 

Once we started our initial phone conversation I collected all the details I could and was encouraged to hear he had captured the last known GPS coordinate location from the DJI controller. This peaked my interest as I am always very curious to find out how close the GPS will get me to the lost target.

When Issac initially called me the temperatures were close to 18 F so I told him we would have to wait for slightly warmer weather however I assured him I would not forget his mission. It worked out that there was a slight break in the rain with a bit of warming temperatures towards the end of the week so we set a plan to reassess the conditions the night before. After a few days we reviewed our options and the green light was a go for operation “Crashed DJI Drone Lake Sacajawea Search and Recovery”. Issac also informed me that there was still some light snow on the grounds and thin ice on the lake. I still agreed to come down with the appropriate cold water dive gear.

Come along for another exciting search as the Seattle Ring Hunter battles the winter shenanigans of Jack Frost and the Winter Warlock.

June 2022 Josh called asking for support in retrieving his dropped wedding band. He was having a meal with his family and friends at Duke’s Seafood. They were sitting outside on patio enjoying the view when his wedding band slipped off his finger rolled down his leg and fell through the cracks of the deck. It then plunked into the sea water below.

After our initial phone conversation Josh was able to visit the restaurant and make some small marks on the patio. This allowed me to come in days later to work the mission while he was busy at work. This is something I often arrange as everyone keeps very busy these days. We tend to find a way to get all the necessary information to enable us to realize a recovery.

Having the exact spot marked and documented afforded me a lot of saved time during the dive search. Good information and intel often lead to best results. We appreciate Josh for reaching out for assistance ands willingness in dropping by the site to do this extra step. Ultimately it resulted in an efficient recovery and him getting his precious wedding band back from the sea! 

Watch the video to see the recovery of Josh’s dropped wedding band from the depths of Puget Sound.

March 2022 Gina contacted me asking if I could do a search for her lost wedding band at Alki beach in Seattle. Gina told me that she goes out often about once a month and does her own cold water Polar Bear Plunge. It was one day prior to Saint Patrick’s Day while in chest high water she let her hand dangle down in the cold Puget Sound waters. In a flash of a moment she felt her white gold wedding ring fall off her finger disappearing into the sand and rocks below her feet. Devastated about the only thing she could do was to make a mental note while walking out of the surf towards the beach. Thankfully she was able to line up with a side street and road sign that proved to be a pivotal benefit to this search.

Her phone call for assistance reached me about twenty days past the date of loss. As finders were are always keeping the hope alive but also know in public environments there is never any guarantees that someone else hasn’t already detected or eyeballed such lost items of value. This is why we say it’s important to reach out to a lost item recovery specialist as soon as possible before making public post or announcements to the general public.  Let us assist you first hand with the highest level of experience in dealing with lost item recovery on a professional level.

Scuba Diver Metal Detectorist Recovers Lost Diamond Engagement Ring in Chesapeake Bay…Glen Burnie, Maryland

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Megan’s beautiful 14 carat white gold 1.75 carat oval shaped diamond engagement ring with a halo of smaller diamonds encircling around the entire solitaire stone and additional diamonds surrounding around half of the band. The other ring is made of sterling silver with CZ stones encircling the band.

Sean and Megan celebrating the most incredible surprise that member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph, delivered to his clients shortly after scuba diving and metal detecting Megan’s lost diamond engagement ring and sterling silver ring in the Chesapeake Bay located in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

An engaged couple, Megan and Sean, were out on a boat for the day with some friends in the Glen Burnie, Maryland area (a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland). Even though Megan was extremely careful to protect her rings in the boat while they were all swimming earlier in the day, upon walking across their friend’s dock when they returned to shore, she lost two out of her four rings which fell out of a container when its lid flew off. One of the two rings that took to flight onto the dock and then into the water happened to be the most important material possession in Megan’s life – her 14 carat white gold 1.75 carat oval shaped diamond engagement ring with a halo of smaller diamonds encircling around the entire solitaire stone, as well as additional diamonds surrounding around half of the band. The other ring was a sterling silver band with CZ stones.

Megan desperately tried to catch the rings as they fell onto the dock but it was too late. The two of them just could not be accounted for. Sean, with urgency, jumped into the water (which was approximately 5 feet deep) and he desperately searched with a strainer or something in an attempt to recover the jewelry. Sadly, his efforts led to no avail.

With no other answer in sight, the couple looked online and they discovered a glimmer of hope…THE RING FINDERS! It’s an international directory listing metal detecting specialists all over the world! I happened to be the one who they called for help. Because I do underwater metal detecting and I am a certified scuba diver, the couple contacted me to seek my assistance in helping them recover Megan’s lost rings.

Later that evening after finishing up another underwater recovery project, I headed out to Glen Burnie, Maryland and met up with Megan, Sean and their friends who owned the dock and the property leading down to the water. They were all so very nice people. They showed me where the incident happened and Megan reenacted the whole ordeal from start to finish.

As soon as I got the full picture as to what we were dealing with, I waded the water as it was closer to low tide and so I was able to keep my head above the tributary water of the Chesapeake Bay and that of the Patapsco River.

None of my metal detecting efforts proved to be successful that night because I did not have a sand scoop with me at the time to bring up some of the targets I scanned. I only had underwater scuba gear with very little air in my tanks from my previous search. Therefore, I would have to return the next morning.

Early the next day, I returned back to the site to see if I could continue wading the water with my metal detecting sand scoop in order to be able to retrieve potential metal targets. Unfortunately, I encountered yet another obstacle – the low tide that morning turned out to be a super tide (based on the position of the moon and sun) which caused the water to be unordinarily high that day.

Because of the unusual high level of water that I was dealing with, I had to switch to using scuba gear. I only had a small amount of air left in my tanks (since I didn’t have the ability to fill them because all of the scuba shops were closed that Sunday or they didn’t open until 12pm). Regardless, I would see if I could safely use what I had left in the tanks and still keep my reserves.

The trek of hauling all of my dive equipment down to the bottom of the hill where the dock was located turned out to be an extremely daunting task. The hill was very steep and it was a very long way down the back side of the house which led to the dock. Nonetheless, I was able to transport the heavy gear down to the water and once again I attempted to find the important keepsakes at the bottom of the water. Unfortunately, I soon ran out of sufficient air in all of my tanks that I kept switching from one to another and that caused me to have to scrap yet another search effort. Sean and Megan were very understanding and I reassured them that I would return again soon with the necessary air supply and equipment to continue the search project.

The following day I drove back to the Chesapeake Bay to resume the search for third time. Because the water level drastically returned to normal status, I was able to wade the water while metal detecting for the jewelry. I spent nearly 8 hours or so in the water and I pulled up all kinds of items: bottle caps, pull tabs, fishing weights and lots more! Curiously though, I still could not find the two rings. I reported back to Sean via text messaging and showed him everything that I pulled up out of the water. I also encouraged him to “stay in the game” and to not be concerned that I did not find what we were looking for. Instead, I would return again shortly and continue my search efforts.

On my fourth day in a row out at the search site, I ended up bringing my hookah dive rig in order to provide me with unlimited air supply. Even though this was an effective way of keeping me down at the bottom of the water for large periods of time without having to keep switching from tank to tank with my scuba gear, there was another reason that I decided to go this route. Because I had spent the whole time in the water the previous day, I lost the opportunity to get my tanks filled at the dive shop. This was my best alternative.

My dive schedule was from 10am to 1pm that day and then I would return again at 6pm and dive until 8pm to continue the search. I was quite surprised that I still had no luck in finding the irreplaceable engagement ring and sterling silver ring that Megan and Sean so desperately wanted back. I searched all around the pilings and stretched out my underwater grid way passed the likely distance where the rings could have settled below. None of it made any sense to me but I was not going to give up the hunt in the least! Once again, I contacted Sean and reported to him everything that I did and all of the items that I continued to salvage from the bottom of the water. My client was clearly disappointed but he was also encouraged that I was not going to give up and that I was determined to find the jewels.

So far, I had invested 4 days of searching which amounted to 16 hours of search time, 528 miles of driving distance and 10 hours of drive time. And yet, as I shared above, I was not going to give up the fight. The diamond ring and sterling silver band were out there somewhere… just waiting to be discovered.

The next day I checked my schedule and corresponded with Sean as to when I could next get out to the search site to continue metal detecting. It turned out that my schedule was so booked up that I would not be able to return to that body of water for another 10 days. I knew this would not be easy for the couple to hear, but unfortunately I just didn’t have a single free day until the following week. My client agreed to wait and I told him that I greatly appreciated his patience and faith in my ability to recover the lost items.

10 days later, I was back at it again. I searched for another 12 hours and still I came out of the water with only trash. I couldn’t believe it! ‘What could have happened to those rings?’ I asked myself over and over again. I was utterly dumbfounded. I had searched multiple times under the dock, around all of the pilings and grid searched 15 feet from the dock out towards the middle of the water on both sides of the boards. And still I couldn’t come away with a single piece of lost precious metal. I metal detected as far out as I possibly could go, even to the point where I began metal detecting under the boat that was adjacent to the dock that I had been focused on the whole time. I was desperate and I searched “outside the box” on every level and yet I still could not find any success for my clients.

When that 12-hour day came to an end, in total, up to that point, with all of the set up, searching, take down and pack up time that I had expended thus far, it all added up to 30 hours of labor. Also, I had driven 670 miles to and from the site and racked up 12 hours of time on the road.

I dreaded having to call Sean and share the bad news with him. I really didn’t expect these lack of results for a search that seemed pretty cut and dry. However, as a professional metal detectorist, the searches we anticipate to be the easiest recoveries sometimes end up being the most perplexing of them all! This was certainly one of them.

Although we initially called it quits after that last scheduled 12 hour search day, I texted Sean back a day or two later and asked him if it would be okay for me to try again to find the rings just once more before I closed the book permanently on this unsolved mystery. Sean was quite happy that I was still willing to give it another try. He figured as I did that there was nothing to lose with me trying one more time.

I wanted to see if maybe the rings flew over to a section of the water where there were large pieces of metal lying at the bottom of the water. It was a spot that was almost impossible to detect based on the heavy content of aluminum and steel that could have been potentially “masking” the rings in that isolated region of the Bay.

Originally, I told Sean that if the rings ended up in that area, it would be impossible for me to recover them based on the hours that it would take to remove each and every piece of metal that was buried in that section. Regardless, I wanted to give it one more shot and see if just maybe I could metal detect just one small area of that giant cemetery of miscellaneous items and hope for the best.

Three days after the most recent search attempt, I headed out towards Glen Burnie once again. Regretfully, a terrible storm was moved through the area and I had to call off the search that particular day. Instead, I rescheduled my trip back out to the Bay three days later.

The next search attempt took place 4 days later. I planned to wade the water with my detector in hand, attempting to reach the neighbor’s boat lift piling where I wanted to detect a 3 foot by 3 foot area around the piling where my grid would not reach during the previous search. Also, I would scan over by the other adjacent neighbor’s jet ski platform where there was about a 3 foot gap that I didn’t detect before because I ran out of grid area to fit my PVC grid sections over in that space to investigate. As it turned out, I was not able to accomplish my objectives based on the high tide level that I experienced that particular day. Therefore, I was unable to wade the water at all during that time frame and I would have to reschedule another trip out yet again.

Even though I encountered another setback in my path while trying to wrap up the search and give it my all one last time, I was determined not to soak in despair over it. Instead, I would have to wait four more days before returning to the site to see what I could find in those couple of sections.

Four days passed by and I finally made it back out to the Glen Burnie water to try again to recover the lost rings. I stayed for about 3.5 hours and accomplished part of my objectives that I had planned for that particular morning. I initially thought I could finish everything up in a short period of time but there was just too much metal to detect in those two isolated regions that I had been focusing on.

When it was time to leave to go to my next client, I told Sean that I was committed to returning later that afternoon to wrap up what I had initially started earlier that day. I thought I could finish everything up in a short period of time but there was just too much metal to detect in those two isolated regions that I had been focusing on.

Later that same afternoon, I was able to get back into the water and metal detect the remaining areas that I started working on earlier that day. I brought all of my scuba diving equipment down to the water and all of my search time involved scuba detecting. I concentrated my efforts over by the neighbor’s boat lift where all of that excess metal was buried. It was completely overwhelming just how much work was involved in detecting piece after piece after piece of miscellaneous metal. However, I never gave up and I just kept pushing myself to keep the faith through the whole search process.

As it turned out, I am beyond excited to share that after burning a good amount of dive time below, just before I was about to call it quits for the very last time, I ended up getting another promising target signal. I pulled out my pinpointer to identify the exact location of where this one piece of metal was hiding (as I did each and every time that I had to salvage yet another piece of trash) and when I finally was able to handle the object between my fingers, my heart began to race faster and faster at that very moment. The small item that I was investigating happened to feel round in shape, with an empty space in the center of it – like a halo…like a ring! And that is exactly what it turned out to be! I couldn’t believe what I was looking at under the water at the bottom of the Bay! I found it! I found Megan’s incredibly exquisite diamond engagement ring! I could not comprehend what I was staring at in the murky water below! I was in a state of utter shock! In all of the time that I had been searching for the jewelry, I would end up finding the engagement ring in the most unexpected and the most difficult of places! I never gave up and I never gave in! I pushed myself harder and harder to continue searching for this irreplaceable keepsake and all of my unrelenting efforts led to finally discovering the lost buried treasure that I had been hoping to find all along!

Once I secured the piece of jewelry in my treasure bottle, I didn’t stop there. I decided to continue on and see if I could find the sterling silver ring somewhere in the same vicinity. And yes, a short time later, my hunch turned out to be “right on the money” once again! I excitedly found the second ring buried below the silt not too far from where I found the first one! My search was finally over! There was so much relief flowing through me! I just wanted to inflate my scuba BCD to acquire neutral buoyancy and just float on my back for awhile as I soaked in that incredible moment! Yes, I completed my mission and I couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my beloved clients!

Later that evening, I drove a good long distance out into the country where Sean and Megan resided. If I were to say that I shocked the living daylights out of this couple when I surprised them with the beautiful diamond engagement ring (as well as the sterling silver band), I would be truly making a great understatement! The two of them were completely taken back by my visit and certainly even more amazed by the sight of what the couple both had concluded within their hearts that they would never see it ever again!

In total, I expended 35 hours of gear set up time, metal detecting and equipment pack up time, I traveled 1110 miles in round trip miles, and I racked up 16 hours of drive time.

I was extremely excited for what I was able to accomplish for my clients and I am certainly proud to be a member of THE RING FINDERS metal detectorist directory because of how I have the opportunity to help so many people just like Megan and Sean recover their most priceless jewelry that can never be replaced.

Bridgeville, Delaware Newlywed Catches Frankenfish But Loses Wedding Band…Found by Ring Finder

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Adam’s black tungsten carbide wedding band that metal detectorist Brian Rudolph recovered from a Bridgeville, Delaware river.

Newlywed Adam smiles as he holds up his most priceless material possession. The tungsten carbide wedding ring was metal detected by ring finder Brian Rudolph and returned to the happy client of Bridgeville, Delaware.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Adam had just gotten married to Chelsea and sadly he lost his brand new black colored tungsten carbide wedding band while handling a freshly caught northern snakehead, also known as a “frankenfish”, along a Bridgeville, Delaware riverbank.

The poor guy searched for hours trying to eyeball his very special keepsake, but unfortunately he was better at catching fish than recovering lost wedding bands in small tributaries.

At some point when Adam gave up the hunt, he went online and found the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. His goal in mind was to hire a professional metal detectorist who could use his specialized equipment in water to recover his most priceless material possession.

I was so very happy to help Adam recover his lost wedding band. I drove out to Bridgeville, Delaware in the pouring rain to assist my client who waited by the riverbank from my arrival. Within a couple of minutes in the water, I had detected two very promising targets. The second one turned out to be the piece of metal that I had been searching for! I found it… the very ring that was placed on Adam’s finger by his beloved bride Chelsea just a number of weeks earlier!

I was quite honored to help my client recover his lost ring, and furthermore, I was extremely impressed at viewing the fascinating photos of the scary looking frankenfish that Adam had caught earlier that afternoon!

Sammamish River Canoe Tip Over Lost Item Recovery Kenmore WA

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Watch this video of how the Seattle Ring Hunter recovers lost items from a canoe tip over.

Like share and subscribe… 

September 2020 a young man reached out to me for some recovery assistance of some lost items out of his canoe. He went out to do some fishing with a buddy loaded up with fishing gear and their cell phones. Apparently the buddy was not so experienced in a canoe and wound up tipping the boat over. Of course nothing was tied off to the boat and at some point as the canoe drifted down stream all there goodies trickled out of the craft and sunk to the bottom of the channel.

This portion of the Sammamish River connects Lake Sammamish to Lake Washington. On this Septemeber day it is very docile with a very slow flow rate. The bottom of the channel is a fairly clean sandy contour due to the flow the visibility was not as bad as it can be in the bottom of our local lakes.  Never the less it was a slower process going foot by foot searching the channel from side to side visually searching for their lost items.

Check out the video to see the exciting recovery process in action. The iPhone having been in only seven feet of water actually survived. After drying the phone and charging, it turned on with no damage to the screen. In these situations I always urge people to take the opportunity to make a fresh back up incase the phone dies a few days later due to the corrosion process if any water made its way inside the phone. At least having a fresh backup ensure a happy stress free transition into a replacement phone.

Lost Platinum Wedding Band Dock Jump Lake Sammamish WA

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)

Lost Platinum Wedding Band Dock Jump Lake Sammamish WA

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Watch this video recovery of Andy’s Lost Platinum Wedding Band in Lake Sammamish WA.

June of 2021 in the middle of our summer heat wave I was contacted by Andy who needed some dive recovery assistance. He was in town for a bachelor party staying at a lake side rental property. The home has its own back yard private dock on Lake Sammamish. With the summer heat at full boil at 102° F everyone had been spending a lot of time in the water. Andy’s situation was no different, he decided after a cup of morning wakeup coffee to take a refreshing jump off the end of the dock. As he was swimming up to the surface he felt his platinum wedding band slide off is finger. He had a moment of panic then got on line to do a little research on how to find a lost ring in the lake. Thankfully he landed on TheRingFinders.com website and hailed my attention for assistance.

Once I arrived on site with all my gear one of the top two constraints to this mission was the broiling heat and the large down hill pathway from the residence to the waters edge. Both of witch we managed at a slow pace. Being cautious not to get heat stroke plenty of fluids were consumed and the dive gear was not put on until moments before entering the refreshing lake water. Refreshing it was! 

Even though the ring was lost at a shallow sixteen foot depth it was too deep for a typical swimmer to search. The lake bottom in the middle of the summer was in full bloom with lots of organic growth that directly translates into silty low visibility waters. With my trained SCUBA dive capabilities, metal detection gear, PVC search grid and lost item search experience I was able to recover his ring from the lake.

All ended well as Andy was able to be reunited with his wedding ring. He was happy to continue on with the enjoyment of the weekend celebration. There was no reason for him to leave his precious wedding band behind and for this I’m thankful he reached out to TheRingFinders.com for some professional recovery assistance!

Lost iPhone in Baltimore, Maryland…Found by Diver in Middle River

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Tim’s iPhone 11 Once Again Back on Shore…And still works!

Tim and Chrissy Beyond Relieved that Tim’s Valuable Smartphone was Recovered by Diver Brian Rudolph

BRIAN RUDOLPH, LOST ITEM RECOVERY SPECIALIST (LAND, WATER, SAND, SNOW, LEAVES, HOUSES & VEHICLES) WILL FIND YOUR LOST KEEPSAKE! CALL ASAP (301) 466-8644!

While I was diving for a lady’s engagement ring and wedding band in the Middle River at Maryland Marina, located in Middle River, Maryland, a gentleman named Tim had lost his iPhone 11 off his boat nearby.

Tim walked up to my dive spotter, Jason, while I was underwater and asked him if he could chat with me. Once I ascended to the surface, Tim explained to me that he was stepping onto his boat on the other side of the marina when his iPhone fell out of his pocket and dropped down into the water.

The distraught gentleman then asked if I was available sometime during the day to dive in his boat slip and attempt a search and recovery of Tim’s lost smartphone. I was happy to help the fellow out.

As it turned out, my dive time was cut short that day based on the quantity of boats that were coming into port that afternoon. So, after packing up my gear, Jason and I hauled my dive equipment over to Tim’s slip to setup for my next search.

When I got over to Tim’s boat, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was dating a woman named Chrissy whose family owned the marina. I had already connected with her very kind father because of needing permissions to dive at the marina. Chrissy’s family members have been extremely supportive and encouraging regarding my recovery operations off their docks.

Once I got all of my gear back on, I stepped onto the swim deck of Tim’s fantastic boat and descended down his boat ladder. Next, I grabbed my underwater metal detector from the deck and headed down below to seek out the gentleman’s smartphone.

Tim, Chrissy, Jason and two other friends of the couple waited above with anticipation as I searched the water below. The depth was less than 10 feet with zero visibility (very common in the Maryland and Virginia areas).

I used a down line that Tim supplied which we tied to one of his tie offs on his boat closest to where he dropped the phone. This helped me to remain oriented as to where I was positioned down below. After picking up a few random pieces of metal that I detected with my Excalibur 2 metal detector, I encountered an excellent signal that sounded similar to other cell phones that I had previously found in the deep.

Convinced that this particular signal could very well be Tim’s iPhone, I took out my pinpointer and detected the exact location of where the target signal was coming from. Then, I reached with my hands to grab the object and it was at that moment that I was confident I had found the missing phone! The shape of the target felt like a smartphone and it also had the weight of one as well! Carefully, I ascended towards the surface with the item in hand.

Before the others could even see my dive mask, they saw the phone in hand as I slowly emerged from the water! There was a resounding applause and a huge feeling of complete relief felt by Tim and Chrissy! They were extremely grateful for my successful recovery of the phone!

I was so happy to recover Tim’s very important piece of property! The best part of the story is that after the phone had been submerged underwater for 6 hours, it still worked perfectly! Once news of the recovery hit the ears of the owner of the marina (Chrissy’s dad), I was proud to have earned a few extra points with Chrissy’s dad, the owner of Maryland Marina!

What a wonderful afternoon it was to help out this very sweet couple!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band Cap Sante Marina Anacortes WA

Like, share and subscribe to this exciting video of John’s platinum wedding ring recovery.

On a Sunday morning I received the following message.

Is this Jeff Morgan? I found your contact info on ring finders. I accidentally dropped my platinum wedding ring off the dock in the Anacortes marina last night. I figured it was gone for good but my wife suggested I do some investigation and see if there was anyone who could possibly find it. The water depth there is between 8 and 10 feet depending on the tide. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday morning, but if there is any chance at getting it back I’d be super grateful after 15 years of marriage!

Within minutes of reading his message we were on the phone discussing details and set a plan for a dive recovery a few short days later.

On the day of the recovery we had cold weather however the Puget Sound was calm with no rain. John was able to easily recall and point out exactly where he was standing when he was attempting to flick off some slime from his hand when his ring shot off straight into the water below. 

I measured the depth at 17 feet deep, scanned the waters for stray electrical currents, and prepared all of my gear.  I also placed my marine radio set to the marina channel at the end of John’s boat as another piece of safety mitigation. When working in an active marina there is a lot of concerns and precautions that need to be taken into account for a safe and successful outcome. With cold water diving in active waters this is a task you should leave to a trained and experienced specialist to perform. 

On this dive I chose to use a drop line and my PVC gird system to ensure a safe hassle free recovery. During the dive as I already expected his ring was not visually available with all the silt on the sea floor. If you loose an item don’t think for a minute you going to jump in to freezing cold water and just dive down and find a lost wedding ring, cell phone or car keys. They are heavy and ninety-nine percent of the time hidden under a layer of silt. Once a diver reaches the bottom the silt will cloud up into the water column and you can quickly become disoriented with near zero visibility conditions. 

When I reached the drop zone and put my tools to work I quickly located his wedding ring under a cloud of zero visibility silt. Thank you Lord for another successful recovery! This man’s cherished wedding ring will be returned to his finger and its story will continue on.

Of course after I surfaced and reunited John with his heavy platinum wedding ring of fifteen years he was very appreciative of my recovery services.

If you lost an item of value reach out to me directly for a quick chat so I can formulate a recovery plan for you!

100 Year Old Family Heirloom Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered Lake Campbell Anacortes WA

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)

   

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Watch video link below…

Tyreece called and told me that his fiancé was swimming in Lake Campbell at their neighbors backyard dock. While she was wading in the water her young daughter, also in the water, reached out for her mother’s hand and pulled her precious engagement ring straight off her finger. This rings is a 100 year old white gold diamond family heirloom engagement ring. Fortunately Silver was able to report that she felt the ring being pulled from her finger and bouncing down her leg to the bottom of the lake. She put a dive mask on and swam under water a several times looking around but could see absolutely nothing due to the poor visibility. As so many others can attest it quickly becomes very discouraging to say the least when something so sentimental is lost in the water like this. The fear that it will never be found can be quite overwhelming to many people.

However after a quick Google search the couple did find TheRingFinders.com directory and gave me a call. They reported that that water was not all that deep but the visibility was terrible. I assured them that this is a typical situation for me that I have developed quite a bit of experience searching for rings and small items of value in crappy conditions like this. I reassured them I would bering all my water recovery gear including my full SCUBA kit so we would have every possible opportunity of a successful recovery.

After showing up I was quite surprised to see how much bloom and silt was in the water. Fortunately Silver told me that she found the bottom of the lake to be more of a firm dirt composition apposed to a thick silty mess. This was encouraging to me that her ring would be a bit easier once I acquired it position with my dive detector.

As soon as I noticed how much silt and bloom was in the lake upon my arrival I knew I needed to construct my PVC search grid. Once again it paid dividends keeping me focused on a concise grid search not missing an inch. It was also a big help that Silver realized when her ring was pulled off from her finger and got me directly over the drop zone.

Watch the conclusion of this exciting recovery story and witness Silver’s excitement when she gets her family heirloom engagement ring back!

Cheers,

Jeff Morgan
